step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Add the chicken thighs (1 pack) to a baking dish and drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season with the mixed herbs (2 tsp), garlic granules (2 tsp), salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice (1/2). Cook in the oven for 30 minutes, until cooked through.
step 2
After 15 mins, heat a large saucepan filled with hot water and bring it to the boil. Add the pasta (300 g) and cook for 10-12 minutes. Drain the pasta and add it to a large salad bowl.
step 3
Once the chicken is cooked, leave to rest for 5 minutes then roughly chop and add to the salad bowl.
step 4
Add the lettuce (1 pack) and chickpeas (1 pack) to the salad bowl with the chicken and pasta and shave over 2/3 of the Parmesan (40 g) using a speed peeler. Toss all together with the Caesar dressing (1/2 bottle) until evenly coated and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 5
Finely grate over the remaining Parmesan (20 g) and scatter over the croutons (40 g). To meal prep, leave the croutons out until you are ready to serve.
